I had a great time staying in this area, there is a nice easy going bar/hotel along the riverside an easy 2 min walk down the road with life music several nights the week, loads of good street food in the area and a good local vibe. Transportation around town is easy via riverboats, taxi or tuktuks and everyone around was very friendly and helpful. Mimi was an outstanding host with lots of tips and always ready to help and full of great suggestions. It was a good time all around.
